OK...welcome to the forums. Firstly - this is an Airsoft forum - judging by the gun you have listed in your profile you may be mistaken in thinking that this is a forum for Airguns (it's not - try https://airgunforums.co.uk/) Secondly - there is a classifieds section to place wanted ads. Some Airsoft Chronos work with Airguns, some do not - good luck with that. Thirdly - the Chrono you specified is as old as dirt and there are much better units around if you look (I had a CB-625 and hated it). TTFN

It's G&G - so my best guess is 'fucking expensive'. Their product pricing is absolutely mental these days.

'Old' VFC weren't *that* bad. I had a HK416 that actually shot really well out of the box once upon a time (circa 2014). In a way I regret selling it because it looked great. (I was going for a Norwegian-inspired build at the time.) This was before they fitted their janky Ambi controls and shit mosfets to their guns mind you. I think their QA has taken quite a nose dive in more recent times.

Electronic Paintball guns have been using optical eyes for years (nearly 20 actually) to prevent chopping. The technology is well proven in greasy and dirty conditions, assuming it's been implemented right by G&G.

Had this little 8L Hyundai down my shed for a year or so to run a small nailer/2nd fix while I was cladding a garden cabin: It's really quiet in use - not fridge-quiet like some can be, but is not loud enough to be offensive when used in the house - my missus hasn't moaned about it anyway! I've got a table-mounted Sparmax regulator (same as what's fitted to their dedicated Airbrush Compressors) on the end of a 1.8m hose to the compressor - I was told by a friend that builds models that putting a regulator directly on the compressor reduces the effectiveness of it's moisture trap? I have no idea if that's true of not but I followed his advice and it makes pressure adjustment quicker/easier. I want to put some Tamiya AFVs together - along with the odd Gundam/Sci-fi kit as well.

Are. They. Fuck. The likes of Eagle6 or Kingdom of Airsoft wouldn't exist is they were the 'best' guns out of the box. Hold on...are we being trolled here by the OP...?

Whilst not strictly Airsoft related - I got an Airbrush setup for my Birthday which I'll be using it to paint some of my spare RIFs.

So much to unpack here. But I can't be arsed. This is an Airsoft forum - can we keep 'Left' and 'Right' politics out of it?

Agreed. My back garden is technically just about within 50ft of the centre of a public highway, but completely out of sight of the public using said highway. In fact it would be impossible for anyone other than my direct neighbours either side from seeing me with an airsoft gun (and they are cool with it anyway) as my terraced house in the way of my garden and the highway. I checked the laws regarding this exact issue with my local RFD when I joined an Airgun club earlier this year as I was worried about the 50ft rule myself.

Sure about that?....not even a Nerf dart? The law is about endangering users of a public highway, pretty sure it doesn't stop you using an Airgun/RIF/Nerf Gun/Supersoaker/whatever - so long as you don't hurt, interrupt or endanger anyone in doing so. From the Home Office guide to Air Weapon Safety It is an offence to fire an air weapon without lawful authority or excuse within 50 feet (15 metres) of the centre of a public road in such a way as to cause a road user to be injured, interrupted or endangered.

Firstly, welcome to the Forums. P90 and speed reloads are words not normally featured positively in the same sentence. However - if I was in your situation I would likely be looking at Novritsch SSR90 pouches. Not tested them myself, but they are reasonably priced and probably worth a shot.

This just showed up on FB: Can't say I'm at all shocked. Seems like par for the course for the AI500.

So I picked up a very cheap brand new ICS MP5 off these here forums - just because I've never owned an MP5 in the last 16 or so years I've been playing: (Needed a 2 minute solder job on the torch wiring and is now working lovely) Been buying bits of kit off AliExpress lately - namely a Spiritus 'Thing 2' clone for my cheapo Viper VX chest rig which arrived a couple of weeks ago, and yesterday a zipper top for the front rig pouch, a velcro admin pouch and a velcro vented pad. Gotta say, everything I've been ordering from AliExpress lately has been arriving in about 10 days, and the quality of the kit is more than good enough for LARPsoft or BBWarz.

Oh dear - I was wrong. He wants £175 for his chest rig and has since re-listed it. I'll stick with my AliExpress knockoff thanks.

I though it was quite interesting until the vocalist opened his mouth. Couldn't listen to much more after that - just not my cup of tea at all.

Problem I find with Viper inserts is re-indexing magazines - I'm only speaking from M4 mag experience so YMMV, but it was such a ballache that I 3D printed insert to sit inside the elastic loops.

I struggle to 'connect' with the really heavy stuff more and more as I get older. I've been listening to a lot of Chevelle at the moment, a very underrated band IMO.

Well, if that's the all-in price for everything listed, that's a pretty good deal (under half retail price). I just think that the advert is worded poorly. I've asked the seller for clarification. Don't get me wrong - 90% of LARPsofters or BBWarz players would be happy enough with a Viper or AliExpress knockoffs for a fraction of the price, but some get a chubby at the thought of gucci real-steel kit and are willing to pay the cost, which is fair enough. If I had £90 burning a hole in my pocket to spunk on some kit (which I don't sadly 😭) - I would be tempted.

Perhaps I was a tad harsh - but this isn't reddit - incorrect information needs to be stomped on quickly and firmly. And the subject has been covered ad nauseam - I couldn't be arsed to type out the same old bollocks about it. Next time I'll try to slightly nicer about it. 😉

More info needed. Questions: - I'm assuming the gun you've got is one of the G&G TR16 308 derivatives? - If yes to the above, the two extra mags you ordered - were they G&G, or another manufacturer? - Have you inspected the inside of the magwell for any damage to the mag catch itself? Perhaps some pics would help.

Patently incorrect. Perhaps you should do a bit of research on the topic. There's plenty of threads knocking around on these very forums about the variable of barrel length in relation to overall accuracy.

If you are talking about a standard V3 Switch/shuttle assembly then no, I don't think so. The gearbox shell is not a standard V3 from what I can see around the switch area. A simple cheapo Gate Nano-ASR (which is micro switch compatible with it's debounce function baked in) will remove the electrical stress on the switch though - it *should* significantly improve the life of the unit. Problem is, by the time you've paid £17-20 for a Mosfet (and not botched the install), you are only a few quid away from a better class of gun overall (i.e. Double Eagle etc.). So - if I was buying a G36 for myself, I would opt for the Specna just for the better quality plastics and with the intention of stripping/lubing/shimming/mosfet etc from the outset. But for a first AEG? Hands down JG/CYMA IMHO - from reputable dealer than chronos their guns before dispatch.

Interesting. I'm literally 10mins from the site - but not played it yet for airsoft (played paintball there though). It's on my 'to-do' list, but UCAP Valiant is my favourite at the moment and I rather play in the prison for a few quid extra and an hours drive. I ran a bone-stock Cyma AKS-74U at Ironsight a couple of years ago (subsequently sold it stupidly) - the newer ones with blue internals were brilliant for the money (£120 in old TG prices). Gave up on glasses years ago - paintball googles with a fan for the win - no fog even with me wearing prescription specs underneath.
